Thanks for the clip, dovdrummer.

[cosmicuz]

[VincentTheWistful]

where did they take this video from? Amazing.

[GooGooGooGjoob]

Does anyone know where I could learn this on Guitar?

[ex1le444]

@GooGooGooGjoob listen to the record, it's easy, just a Bo Diddly Riff.

[zog97xy]

use your ears

This is awesome. Love the Pretty Things! Wish there was more info on this, (original personnel?) obviously not the 60's here. Still, killer. Guys in shades reminded me of Link Wray just a bit.

[waylo4526]

i agree this is real punk man don't make it like this no mo

[clarkewi]

Love their sound. Reminds me of 1966 when acid wasn't illegal (yet) and people were just giving it away like candy on the Sunset Strip. Fun time to be 15 hitchhiking around LA or up to "The City". You'ld get killed now and devoured by cannibals.

[rowley1950]

A great band - shame we can't see original film footage.

Think this one was their best?

[hellothere425]

yes! this is great

[jt123egypte]

One of there best numbers!

[pjwsnooty]

Thanks dovdrummer. I was fifteen when this came out, in an era when even using the word "pretty" in the naming of a male band was quite a daring and inflamatory thing to do. Was the singer's name Phil May? I seem to remember the drummer was Viv Prince. I echo discdon below when I say I too would chose it as a Desert Island Disc.

[planetacandy]

great!

[WildWestCritter]

Sixtys punk at its best

[narta11]

You have to respect the fact that these guys didn't break weak after so many decades. They still have the magic and balls that made them who they are.

[discdon]

This would be one of my 8 Desert Island Discs - a big amp. two bloody great speakers on the dunes blasting out across the deep blue sea.

[missadelaide11]

[PAULLONDEN]
